Appeal 2007-1653
Application 10/791,945
Appellants’ invention relates to improved processing of data
communications received by a wireless terminal. Specifically, Appellants
disclose a method and system for implementing Incremental Redundancy
(IR) operations in a wireless receiver, including a system processor operable
to receive the soft decision bits of a data block, to configure the plurality of
IR processing module registers, initiate operation of the IR processing
module of the wireless receiver, access the plurality of IR processing module
registers, and perform IR operations on the soft decision bits of the data
block in an attempt to correctly decode the data block (Specification 5).
Claim 1 is exemplary:
1. A method for performing Incremental Redundancy (IR)
operations in a wireless receiver comprising:
receiving an analog signal corresponding to a data block;
sampling the analog signal to produce samples;
equalizing the samples to produce soft decision bits of the data
block;
configuring, by a system processor of the wireless receiver, a
plurality of IR processing module registers;
initiating, by the system processor of the wireless receiver,
operation of an IR processing module of the wireless receiver; and
accessing, by the IR processing module, the plurality of IR
processing module registers; and
performing, by the IR processing module, IR operations on the
soft decision bits of the data block in an attempt to correctly decode
the data block.
